Answer Me from The Band's Visit has literally brought me down from an anxiety attack before. I'm sure there are infinite more, but this was my first thought.

Kristoff's Lullaby from Frozen, and Hold On from The Secret Garden (but Jessica Vosk's version is incredible)

I always found a lot of songs from Cinderella calming. Ten Minutes Ago, There is Music in You, Prologue, etc.

I always find "Our Time" calming. Just because it;s so optimistic and such a gentle melody. One of Sondheim's best.

I'll add another "Band's Visit" song. I find the beautiful melody of "Omar Sharif" very calming.

"Moonshine Lullaby," from "Any Get Your Gun"

"Seeing You" from Groundhog Day is the first thing that popped into my head. Also the finale of "Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812" is quite beautiful and peaceful.

[John Adams]

"Time Stops" from Big Fish

"There Will Be a Miracle" from See What I Wanna See

"A Soft Place to Land" from Waitress

[FigTree]

Posted: 11/5/18 at 9:44am

"Lay Down Your Head" Violet

"Home for You" Bat Boy

"Solla Sollew" Seussical

"Son is Gonna Shine" Bright Star

"Welcome to the World" A Man of No Importance

The last two are less "I can sleep to this!" calming and more "It's going to be okay...and if it isn't, I'm going to be okay!"

It's off-Broadway but the first song that came to mind for me is William Finn's I'd Rather Be Sailing from A New Brain.
